How can I get back the recovery function?P.S How can I make a recovery partition for Lenovo OKR?There are several options available:1. Contact Lenovo and inquire about their OKR disc sets for your unit OR2. Search for OKR engineering program. This will require further research on how to go about using it. You might encounter a thread suggesting to create a USB recovery drive if you have Win 10. This will not include the OKR feature as claimed but will only restore or install Win 10. So be aware of this.

I recently formatted my Lenovo Ideapad Z510 laptop & installed clean Windows 10 via Bootable Pen DriveWhile doing so I deleted all partitions from my hard disk including recovery partition & created a single new partition of C Drive & installed Windows 10 on it.The problem now I am facing is sometimes my laptop restarts automatically & then a blue screen appears saying Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart.Then the recovery process appears& when I click recover It recover some days old version of my current operating system & uninstalls recently installed programmes.This is happening frequentlySo I want to know how can I recreate all those default Recovery Partitions&Do I need to format my laptop again for that?

I accidently deleted the partition on my external hard drive while doing a reinstall of Windows. I had the drive still plugged in and when I was deleted the partition on I though was my hard drive on my computer, I choose to delete the partition on my external. Is there anyone that knows how if possible to restore this lost data?

Answer:Accidently deleted partition

Take a look at PC Inspector, it should be able to restore the partition.

Answer:Accidently deleted partition

did you do a quick format? because that will affect whether or not you can retrieve those files or not....also...how are your drives formatted?

Well...i googled some information, and came up with this....try these programs? its worth a shot! Good luck!...

Hello, I was trying to expand a partition but deleted a partition in the process. I have a SSD and HDD the the partition which took about half of the HDD space.On the HDD was a storage partition, system reserved and the deleted partition. So it is currently unallocated. I've tried running recovery programs they find it butit will cost me money to restore it since I'm using the free version. What should I do now? I've attached a picture of what it looks like currentlyI've tried using testdisk I cant really understand it.

Answer:Accidently deleted partition

Was the partition you deleted = to the unallocated space or was E: the partition you were expanding. Did you actually expand E: or stop after you deleted your partition? The less you write to E: the better as this could be overwriting data you are trying to recover if E: was indeed expanded into your previous partition space. If the unallocated space was equal to the partition you deleted and E: was not expanded then you have a good chance of recovery.

Do you have an external drive with enough free space to recover your data?

Hi all,I've recently purchased a Lenovo Legion Y520 which had Windows 10 pre-installed on it.I wanted to install Linux on SDD as the main OS. I wanted to move windows installation from the SDD to HDD.So i backed up the windows partition with a third-party tool then formated the SDD completely including the recovery partition.I talked to merchant technical support and they told me that the license for windows is obtained with the motherboard serial but the recovery tool would guarantee restoring everything including driver updates & Lenovo useful softwares.I want to know where can i get an official image for the recovery partition in case i wanted to install windows again on the SDD without the previously created image.Thanks in advance.

I know, what a stupid thing to do. I was trying to reinstall windows on my computer and I accidently deleted the system tools partition (the one without a letter).

Can anybody tell me how to create this partition on my Dell E1505 again so I have something to place the system tools onto? I can create lettered partitions (you know, C and D partitions and such), but I can't get it to create that little subpartition on the C drive. Any help I can get with this would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sure this is unnecessary, since I'm in the XP forum, but I am talking about windows xp here...

Answer:Accidently deleted system tools partition

Hi JohanTheMighty !

Afaik the only way to get that preinstalled partition back is to use recovery disks to restore the computer to the factory defaults.

See if this applies to your problem :
Reinstall Operating System Manually If PC Restore Fails

As I said in the title, I was using 3tb+unlock to open up the last terabyte of space on my 3tb drive and even without me telling it, it just assumed that I wanted the 1tb hard drive that I save my family photos on to unallocate.

As the drive is dying but not there yet...hense the new drive...the drive still works and still had some information that I needed to save and now it is gone. I explained it badly but how to I restore an 'unallocated' space to what it was before without spending a lot of money on a new program. Is their a free one or one around $10 dollars that will do this simple thing.

The program I was using when this is done is the program that came with the hard drive "3TB+ Unlock" and the maker of the drive is Western Digital. I just need to undelete the partition and get at least most of it back if possible.

Answer:I accidently deleted a needed partition and now it is 'Unallocated'.

You can't restore a deleted partition. But, you can create a new partition that takes up all of the unallocated space and run Recuva which is a data recovery tool: http://www.filehippo.com/download_recuva/

Reading around the board, this section particularly, and having recently converted gear and OS, I thought it was time to clean up my HDD's, and reschedule partitions.
I've got 2 HDD's 1 Maxtor 40Gb IDE & 1 Maxtor 80Gb IDE
In my former system I had only the 80Gb and there partitioning was as followed:
- 5Gb for OS (2.1), also being the active (former system) partition of this HDD
- 15Gb for program files & program files data (2.2)
- 20Gb for Miscellaneous Data (2.3)
- 40Gb for Media files (2.4)

After convertion:
the 40 Gb HDD went into 2x 20Gb, 1 for OS (1.1) & 1 for program files and program files data (1.2).
After cleaning I had managed to get the 5Gig partition (2.1) empty which I wanted to join with the 15Gig (2.2).
Leaving me with a simple, well looking, structure.

I was so damn stupid to, after formatting this partition, DELETE it.
Yes, I know, you get a warning message, and it was the moment I confirmed I felled the itch something was going to be wrong.
A split second later I saw 2.3 & 2.4 coming free as "available space".

Answer:Accidently deleted 1 partition, lost 3! Urgent help wanted!

Sounds to me like you deleted the extended partition instead of one logical partition inside it. Yes, I have used testdisk successfully, but if you feel uncomfortable with it, feel free to try Active Partition Recovery or whatever. However, APR's demo won't fix anything as it won't write to disk.

i was on disk management on my computer and i right clicked on my portable harddrive and accidently clicked delete partition how do i fix this. my hardrive wont show up in my computer or disk management so i cant partition it. i dont need to recover the data i already have it all backed up.

Answer:I accidently deleted the partition from my external hard drive

Unplug and re plug in the external drive while you are in Disk Management and see if an unknown device appears. You can also leave it plugged in and restart you computer. Do you get the "bing, Bong" USB connection sounds?

I have accidently deleted a partition from an external hard drive, silly me went and added another partition over the top of the old deleted one I have tryed many partition recovery programs like Partition table doctor, Recuva Data doctor recovery etc, non of them can find the old deleted partition they just show the new one I created over the old one, I am in a world of pain if I can not recover these files for work.

I appreciate any help or suggestions.

Answer:Partition over old accidently deleted partition

Hello Kye, welcome to Majorm Geeks.

If all you have done is delete the old partition and then create a new one, then pretty well all your data will still be there.

If this doesn't help you will be better off using a professional data recovery service. Look on Google for one in your area.

They will be expensive because the equipment/software employed is expensive. However you will still find it cheaper than purchasing this professional stuff for yourself as the cost is spread over many users.

I've a feeling there is no solution to this but here goes, my daughter deleted the recovery data on her L300-299.
Is there any way of retrieving it ? The partition was formatted so I couldn?t get anything back.
Does Toshiba do standard iso's or anything in these circumstances? Any help would be appreciated.

Answer:Accidently deleted recovery data

Unfortunately there is no way to retrieve all these data.
Recovery data are also not downloadable.

Only thing you can do is to order new recovery DVD under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

Hi. I got a lenovo thinkpad edge 15" 0301 J6G. With Windows 7 The other day I messed up, I installed a program, but I installed it in the wrong direction, so I un-install it. AND some more program files in the same folder. That was not my intention, off course. Trying to fix the problem I looked in to the rescue and recovery options. When I tryed to create a recovery disc the computer got stuck and nothing happened, so after a while I canceled the operation. Now I can't create a recovery disc anymore as there are some files missing. Is there now other way I can reinstall windows that was in the computer?

Answer:accidently deleted my recovery disc...

Press F11 at boot to see if you can get into the ThinKVantage recovery environment. You should be able to restore from there.

Idea pad y570 like an idiot when reinstalling windows I deleted the lenovo partiton that comes pre installed with all your drivers. I can find most if not all of them on the lenovo site but for some reason i cant update my video drivers. Whenever I use the nvidia driver install it cant get past the checking compatibility and just tells me I have to install an intel driver first. So I find the intel video driver and it finishes every time saying some drivers werent installed. Im not sure if it is talking about a different driver but I cant update from the default vga driver. I am just wondering if anyone has been able to get a copy of the partition on disk or download or something. Never had a problem like this before and am not sure what to do. I have tried reinstalling windows and its the same thing. Thanks

Hi all,I recently bought a WD My Book Essential Edition external hard drive and wanted to change it from FAT32 to NTFS. I was following instructions given on WDs website, however the directions weren't entirely clear (of course only noticed after the fact). I right clicked on My Computer, clicked manage and used Disk Manager. The instructions said to find the drive, right click on it and click delete partition. It didn't mention however, to do that with bottom part of the screen and not the top. So, I think I just deleted the logical drive.

It shows up on the device manager and the "Safely Remove Hardware" window, but the drive letter no longer shows up under My Computer.

I'm stuck in a pretty bad situation right now and I have no idea about how to help myself..So recently I've been wanting to 'reset' my Windows 8.1 laptop, & I just cannot because my recovery environment is missing..First when I got this problem I thought there would be an easy-intermediate level fix like every other problem. (and I love fixing stuff.)

But this one doesn't look like an easy fix or I'm not even sure If there is a fix. So the big mistake I did was, I deleted my "System Recovery Partition".

I have searched everywhere possible and I'm not getting a fix.. I would really appreciate IF YOU GUYS HELP ME!and another problem is that I don't live in the USA or Canada.I've got a Dell Inspiron 15R 5521, 8GB RAM, intel i5 3317u.

and Dell provides Backup Media to only the people who live in the US and Canada. Please guys, I need a solution.

I have a separate Windows 8.1 Installation Disk, but what I'm scared about is If I install my Windows from the disk, my Dell features would be gone and I don't think I'd be able to have a proper Recovery Environment in the future because this Disk's installation files are nothing related to Dell. Its just a clean Windows installation disk I got from my friend a while ago. I've tried the repair my computer option from the disk and it does not help...

Hi folks - I've just had a frustrating moment trying to make a Recovery Media set on my new T450. I followed the prompts using Lenovo's "Factory Recovery Discs" program. When prompted, I inserted a USB drive, expecting the program to tell me at some point what capacity was needed, but it never did. So after only one or two quick optionless prompts, it began creating the media on the USB. Quickly it stopped, and gave a message saying that the capacity of the drive was insufficient (while still not saying what size was necessary), and gave me only one option: Delete Recovery Partition and restore drive to normal functionality - or something very close to that wording. So I clicked OK, assuming it was referring to the USB drive - because why would a user want to delete the factory Recovery Partition at this point? But that's exactly what it did.So now I have no Recovery Partition (formerly the Q: drive), and I can't tell if that space is still allocated (but unavailable to me), but I suspect that's the case. I've attached below, a screenshot of what I see in Drive Management now.I'm frustrated that with one click on a poorly-worded message, in the process of creating Recovery Media, I was given the option (and only the option), to delete the Recovery Partition itself! Mind-smoking. Any options for restoring that data, short of sending my new PC back to Newegg or Lenovo? I suspect it's only logically deleted, (if I ... Read more

If you didn't create a recovery drive (using this method) then I recommend you contact lenovo on how to obtain a copy of the recovery disc which restores the preloaded Win8 OS, drivers, and apps.

Alternatively, if the machine came preloaded Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, you can try the following:

For Windows 8:1. Obtain a Windows 8 installation disc and use it to reinstall Windows (if the system is preloaded with Windows 8, the installation will automatically detect the Win8 product key in the UEFI Firmware / BIOS and will automatically activate Windows). 2. From here, you can obtain the drivers from the G510 drivers page and/or upgrade to Windows 8.1 via the Windows Store (see this guide)

For Windows 8.1:1. Check this guide on how to obtain a Windows 8.1 ISO (see Option One)2. When finished, follow this guide to make a bootable UEFI Win8.1 installer via DVD or USB flashdrive and use it to install Windows (the installation should be able to detect the Windows 8.1 product key in the UEFI firmware that will let you activate Windows).3. If successful, obtain the drivers from the G510 drivers page

Yesterday I had received my laptop from e-bay which is already installed with Windows 10, I installed windows 8.1 pro.Unfortunately, I deleted the recovery partition. Please assist me how to recover the stuff. Even though I do not have the recovery disc,

I can't refresh or reinstall using Windows or Samsung functions, which I is my own fault as I deleted the recovery partition by mistakenly thinking it was not important.

I have contacted Samsung, they say it's my fault so they won't help. I contacted Microsoft and they said the same. Nobody will provide installation disks. I think these are my options..

1) Use my flatmates Windows 8 laptop to make disks. Its a different brand laptop though, is this a problem? Also, should I use DVDs or CDs? I have my serial number and product code and I don't mind downloading drivers from Samsung.

2)Buy the Windows 8 Pro upgrade for ?50 because I'm a student. But I'm unsure if this will be a full install with all the files I need because it is only an upgrade?

I would like to sort this out sooner rather than later. I need my laptop for coursework. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Answer:I deleted my recovery partition.... I know now that's bad!

It isn't a bad idea at all....but that's assuming you have made recovery discs. Anytime I buy a laptop, I wipe the drive completely and install the OS myself, but I keep a copy of my restore discs, just in case. Having your only recovery method on the hard drive (which is prone to fail) is never a good idea.

That all being said, do you have any friends who might have a plain vanilla Windows 8 disc? The recovery discs from another laptop, assuming they even boot, typically won't let you repair a system...only reinstall.

I was given a Toshiba Satellite C665D. I tried running the recovery media creator but got a message that said No HDD recovery area. The Toshiba recovery media creator can not be launched. I contacted the previous owner and was told no recovery media was done for the notebook and he created a new partition as there was free space on the HDD which seems to have wiped the recovery partition I don't understand how as the recovery partition was hidden, I figured out how to unhide the partition and it shows the recovery folder but it is empty. What I would like to know is there any way to get the recovery partition back. Thanks.

Answer:OEM recovery partition has been deleted

As far as I know, the only way to get the recovery partition back is to use the recovery disks (that in this case were not made.) The disks would restore the computer to factory specifications, including the hidden recovery partition.

hello frnds, recovery partition of my laptop dv 2911 tx has been deleted after installing windows 7 so is it possible to get recovery partition back if install vista operating system back? thank youAnkit

Hello, I deleted the recovery partition from my W520 drive. I had made the recovery media to a USB drive but I misplaced the drive! I can't find it anywhere. If I call Lenovo can they send me recovery disks? Even if I have to pay a small fee I don't mind but I need to reinstall Windows. Thank you for your help.

Hello My recovery partition was destroyed when I did a full system backup using Acronis backup software.

I purchased T500 last month with Windows 7 OS. My harddrive (160gb) had two partitions C drive and Recovery drive. I double clicked the recovery drive and copied the contents to a CD. Later the Recovery drive was deleted. Is there a way I can get back the Recovery drive back into my hard drive.

Arghh, cant be any dumber to delete the wrong partition TWICE!! i managed to do it, i did it with winxp cd.
I have two hdds both have only one partition and i deleted the wrong one to make it into 2 partitions, is it possible to recover all the files after partition is deleted, its not formated yet no new partition created, if its possible to recover from this will the windows be usable or should i reinstall just to make sure everything works like it did before.

Going to install OpenSuse but i still want my stuff back and maybe use that crappy Windows when i need to.

As I installed the fresh copy I chose to delete the old partition because of the virus not remembering all the stuff I had on there that I still needed data/doc/pics and so on when I was done everything was in working order and fresh.my second issues was when I bought my new iPhone the SIM card is different so all my contact and everything was lost for the last year because my back up was on my old system.

I accidentally deleted the D: drive containing my recovery partition. I can't restore to factory settings using the driver recovery dvd because the system no longer detects the cd/dvd drive from the slim expandable base.

How can I recover the deleted partition? Or make the cd/dvd drive respond?

Answer:Deleted Recovery Partition

If you have not created anything on the partition or overwritten the partition with any files then you could recover it using a recovery program.
for a free and easy program you can try PC Inspector

I know it doesn't answer your question but it is an alternative. If you need to recover from a failed hard drive, the recovery partition on that failed hard drive isn't much good. Just something to consider.

I think this still works for Windows 10:

recovery partition deleted by mistake how can i get original recovery image

Answer:recovery partition deleted

Prasanna-pc Ordinarily, I would recommend using HP Recovery Media to restore your PC to its original condition. That would erase the entire drive, format the drive, and install the OS, the drivers, and the HP utilities.Unfortunately, there is no HP Recovery Media linked to the HP Product Page for your PC. This could be an oversight by HP, or it could also mean that HP no longer stocks the recovery media for your PC. They no long stock recovery media for the older PCs.You can try contacting HP Customer Support directly, using the links below, to see if you can order if from them:If you live in the US or Canada, contact information is on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1If you live elsewhere, contact information is on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.htmlNOTE: After you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to some one -- it can take a while!If HP no longer provides Recovery Media for your model, a couple of other sites you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/ Good Luck========================================================================I am a volunteer and I do not work for, nor do I represent, HP.---------------------------------------------------------------If my posts helped you, please click the Thumbs-Up symbol on my post to say thanks.If my posts solved your problem please click "Accept As Solution".=======...

Answer:Deleted Recovery Partition and now i cannot boot

That partition was probably also the active boot partition, with just Windows (without boot files) installed on the main, inactive partition.

That partition was also the only method you had of recovering Windows to it's factory defaults - and you've blown it away.

Before doing anything potentially risky like that, you should have created a full back up image of the entire hard drive. As it is, I can't see how you are going to avoid having to purchase a new copy of Windows now.

There is just one thing that might work. Borrow a Win7 DVD and perform a repair install, using your own product key if prompted for it.

Answer:Deleted My Hp Recovery Drive Partition

An spare partition is in now way any kind of threat. Since you working partition is 106GB then adding another 5GB won't add that much capacity percentage-wise. You would be much better off resizing the partitions so that the OS partition, volume C:, is 20GB in size and the rest of the drive is devoted to a partition used just for storing data files. This way when (not if) you need to reinstall the OS your data files in the other partition will be unaffected and waiting for you there.

I can reccommend Partition Magic as a great tool for creating and resizing partition in Windows without losing any data.

You will need to beg, borrow, buy or steal an XP installation CD in order to reinstall the OS when (not if) the time comes.

So now I have no recovery partition, no recovery discs, and no way of using my computer besides Linux because the COA doesn't work with the other Vista disc I have.Is there ANY way to get the partition back?Thanks.

Answer:ThinkVantage recovery partition deleted

You should have made the recovery set before installing XP. Call Lenovo and get some recovery discs sent out to you. Have your credit card ready.

My problem is as stated in the title I accidentally deleted my recovery partition on my laptop after I switched out my original hard drive to the newer solid state drive. Now to fill you in on the laptop its a UX32VD-DV71 it has 24GB flash memory on-board the motherboard and 500GB HDD, I switched out the 500HDD for a 256SSD.

I used norton ghost to do a complete clone of the drives but after i installed it their was an error so I had to re-install windows, while trying to install windows I found out it had a recovery partition but it was to late and I had deleted the partition with out paying attention to the actual size of the recovery partition. Now I am currently running windows but missing all of the Zenbook features I've tried to install some Asus software but it wouldn't let me showing a message stating it could only be install on Asus products.

If their is any other information you need please let me know.

Answer:Windows Recovery Partition Deleted...

I would forget about the deleted recovery partition & instead put in place your own system recovery strategy in the form of a "partition image" of the C: drive. You will need a spare hard drive on which to save this partition image, and of course the software to create the image with. I can only recommend the software which I've been using for 3 years to do this - it's rock solid reliable: [email protected] Disk Image: [email protected] Disk Image. Windows & Servers Backup Software. Win XP, 7, 2003, 2008, Vista

Recovering your system using the manufacturer's Recovery method installs a fresh copy copy of Windows together with (usually) loads of crapware you don't need, plus you have to set up all your preferred Windows settings again and re-install your favourite applications -- no fun.

Recovering your system from your own partition image avoids all that, and it's much quicker. Plus, when your system drive fails (and it will one day) you'll have lost your manufacturer's recovery partition anyway, but your own backup image of the C: partition will still be intact on a different drive.

There are some free utilities for creating a partition image but I can't comment on their reliability as I've never used them. [email protected] Disk Image is the only one of it's kind that that I trust.

I deleted in error the pre-installed HDD Recovery partition. I have the Recovery disks which I made when I first got my laptop so I just need to know if its just a case of copying the files from the disc back to the HDD Recovery Drive? Or do i need to do a complete new re-install from the disks?

Thanks

Answer:Deleted HDD Recovery Partition By Mistake

I doubt it very much. Those discs simply address and draw on the files that were on the recovery partition itself. I know my system recovery discs no longer were of any use after I deleted the recovery partition and merged it with my main one as I no longer needed it anyway.

Hi All!! my first post on the forum, three days after buying a new yoga 2. I was installing Linux and by mistake I wiped out the entire disk inclusing the recovery partition with windows 8 installation stuff !! Do you know if it there is any way to get it back, downlading it from somewhere and installing ? I searched on the Lenovo website but didn't find any clue.... many thanks in advance!! andrea

Answer:deleted recovery partition yoga 2

Andrea, I'm afraid it sounds like you may be in a tough spot... You can create an installation disk with this link (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media), but you'll need to enter your product key. The problem' is that Lenovo, in a move I've never heard of from a computer manufacturer, decided not to give us ours. So your only option is the recovery partition - which is a much worse option even when it is available. Off the top of my head you have a few options:1. Leave windows behind, stay on linux.2. Try to get a new product key as described here (http://pcsupport.about.com/od/osproductkeys/ht/windows-product-key-replacement.htm). I have never had to do this, so I don't know how helpful Lenovo will be, or how to get a new product key from Microsoft with a preinstalled computer but without the installation media, but might be worth a shot.3. Purchase a new windows 8 license. 4. Stay on linux until windows 10 comes out in 2015 (if you're buying a new license, at least you'll be buying something you shouldn't already own)5. Send it in to Lenovo (least recommended - your warranty won't help you so I'd guess they'll charge you for the OS plus labor - might as well buy it yourself, not pay for the labor, plus you'll actually have the product key that you paid for, so you can do what you want in the future).

Hi all, I have a Lenovo 300 Y500 series notebook. While installing Linux on my notebook I deleted my recovery partition by mistake. This happened 2 months back. Later, last week my system got crashed and I lost my OS too. Could anyone help me out in getting back my partition back?? Now i am managing by installing a copy of Windows XP that i have. But none of my drivers are working. I tried to download it from Lenovo site and installed it. But still nothing is working. Atleast help me out in installing my sound drivers alone.. Expecting your solution.. Yours Anand

Ok so I apologize in advance if this story is a bit long, and horrifying (actually it's probably entertaining xD). I purchased the Lenovo y510p gaming laptop on back on July 14th 2014. I got the laptop, and it just didn't work for me. It didn't play the games I wanted it to, it had overheating issues, the keyboard had a really sharp edge making typing uncomfortable as well. After installing Sony Vegas and Avast, and just shifting some of my personal photos/music over, I made a backup of the laptop using the OneKey Recovery software. This backup was made to one of my 500GB external hard drives. So I then decided that I just didn't like the laptop, and it was time to return it. I called Newegg, and got my RMA all ready to go. Because I had lot of my personal files and programs, I decided the fastest way to delete everything would be to use the OneKey Recovery by Lenovo, and do a factory reset. At the time, I didn't think anything of this then simply putting the laptop back to exactly how I got it. I even booted it up after the factory reset, and it looked just like the first day I got it. Fast forward 2 weeks, and my RMA is denied from Newegg: Your RMA (RMA Number: 60470880) return was received and sent to our Inspections Department for closer examination. 34-313-740 NB LENOVO IDEAPAD Y510P 59406636 RTSystem has been modified/altered original manufacturers operating system has been removed cannot access restore partition, this voids Newegg w...

Answer:How to recover deleted "Recovery Partition"

If you only used One Key Recovery by Lenovo, it should not delete the partition. (I hope you did not format the whole system) Once you receive the laptop, you can check if this partition still exists in Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Disk Management.It should show some drives, other than the C: , D: and the SSD (if you have). Those drives are the recovery partitions. I can post a sample screenshot in the evening. Sadly, I do not know any way to recover that partition. As I have seen on this forum several people who lost that partition could not roll back their laptop to original settings without a recovery drive (which is different from a recovery backup).

The ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery partition held the original factory default image.If the 10GB where the deleted partition wasn't reoccupied, then a partition recovery tool could have easily recovered the partition.

Which utility did you use that gave you that message? Was it the Toshiba HDD recovery utility or windows backup?

You may have deleted the recovery partition. The other one would be the windows page file for virtual memory.

If you have deleted the recovery partition I can't think of an easy way to re-create it that isn't very technical.

You can of course make manual backups using "backup and restore" in the control panel of windows. There you can create a system image, a recovery disk or backup your files.

Hi, hope you can help.
I removed all partitions so if could install windows 7, this turned out to be a mistake as all the drivers for it are windows 8.1

So I downloaded 8.1 to a USB and booted from that. But I don't have the product key as it's tied to the bios? EHCI something to do with it?

People are saying the laptop is now useless? I can't believe that! There must be a way?

Answer:ACER Aspire OEM / deleted recovery partition

I have never seen a driver not be found for Win7 in tens of thousands of installs we've directly helped with here since beta.

Preface:I have an external hard drive and i attempted to install XP on it, using my Notebook. Before, my Notebook Recognized my Partition as the D drive and the External hard drive as the F. I booted the XP disk, and all seemed well, until I realized my computer flipped my drives, and so I installed XP on the partition space and left the external hard drive untouched. No biggie. Vista still ran fine.The Problem:Few weeks later i cant update anything, (i.e. windows update, windows defender, norton, ad-aware etc.) but yet my internet browsing abilities were unaffected. I ran a google search and took a few steps to fix this but nothing (registry edit - HKEY editing, and services.msc editing, and some cmd commands) but nothing worked. Since my HP was still under warranty i contacted an HP rep, we did a few things, and he told me i was missing some system files and so i needed my recovery partition to fix this. I explained to him what happened, so he told me i was going to have to purchase the DVDs from HP and that i could not use a vista disk i had, since it was made for all vista models, and that i needed a manufactures recovery disk. I dont want to purchase the DVDs. Is there anything i can do to fix this, or somewhere i can get the DVD image(legally obcourse) to the HP Vista Disk.

i deleted my partition D on my notebook also the HDD Recovery. Now my Question is how can i get back a Image on this Partition? I have a Recovery CD and i can boot from it but it?s only a Image for Windows 7 32 Bit.
If i boot from this CD then a Warning appears which asked if i already created a Image. If i click next then it will be format my C Partition.

Can someone tell me how can i create a new Image without format C?

Many Thanks

Answer:Satellite L555-10M - Partition D deleted and HDD recovery

Hi hardpoekel,

Why you deleted the D partition if you didn?t create the Toshiba recovery disk? Sorry, I don?t understand.

I think the point is that the recovery disk what you have now only contains an image of Windows 7 32bit. As far as I know on Satellite L555-10M is Windows 7 64bit preinstalled and to create a recovery disk for this OS you have to use the Toshiba recovery disk creator. But now it?s to late because you deleted the files for this disk.

I think to get back Windows 7 64bit you can only order a recovery disk from Toshiba:
https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

You can use the current 32bit recovery disk without any problems but it will only restore 32bit version instead 64bit.

Please insert a bootable floppy and press any key to try again"

The only think i did was delete a partition called "System_DRV"

Ahhhhh....you can't delete that partition. You need to use the link you provided and recover the partition. That will get your machine back up and working.

I have an old machine i am giving away and decided to use the free upgrade disk sent to me back in 2007. It installed fine and I got SP1 on it and cleaned it up.

After everything was done I noticed the E-Machines recovery partition was wiped. Is this because I now have the Vista upgrade disk with the # on that for the COA? Not the sticker on the machine.....I had to activate it with the # on the upgrade disk. I can't figure out why it would wipe the recovery partition with the factory XP image on it. Will this disk work if the next owner needs to do an install? Guess so..

Have you heard of this happening with OEM upgrade disks? Thanks.

Lol you can answer my question from my other post...If put backup files in my backup partition, and re-install vista on my current partition will it delete those files in the backup partition?

Hello,I am using a HP notebook with Windows 8.1. When I purchased the laptop the D drive was set aside for 17gb worth of recovery files. I was attempting to re-partition the harddrive so as to be able to save things to a place other than the main C drive. I hold only base computer knowledge and managed to delete the only visible file within the D drive. I am unsure the name of the file. The file was roughly 230mb so the rest of hidden files remain. My question is as follows.

Is the inability to do a system restore or recovery important?

If so, will I be able to restore my computer at this point?

If not, how can I replace the file in order to do so?

If unable, would a fresh installation of Windows fix my error?

I do not have ready access to the Windows installation discs and codes/keys required so this would be the last resort hopefully. I don't know enough about this subject to even ask another intelligent question (or rather an intelligent question). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer:Reset Windows 10 even if Recovery Partition is (accidentally) deleted

I deleted my recovery partition before realising it was the recovery partition.That 11.26GB unallocated was the recovery partition.

I was installing Ubuntu as a dual boot, and wanted to install it on its own partition. But I already had 4 primary partitions (the 1.46GB bootable recovery partition, C:, E: and the 11.26GB partition with the recovery files). So i shrunk C:, deleted the 11.26GB partiton and created the new primary partition. I later discovered it had the recovery files.

Ubuntu installation needed some other partitions and it must've converted E: to a logical drive.

I have installed the MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition v7.5The results of a full quick scan:Double clicking the HHDRECOVERY partition (unallocated space) shows the recovery files:However, doing a full scan of the unallocated space also shows a small partition labeled "Boot":Double clicking that drive shows the following:However, that folder does not appear to contain any files. There was a [+] to the left of the folder, but clicking it just made it disappear since there was nothing to show. I'm not sure if I can just ignore this tiny section or not.

I am just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on how I should proceed. I have not ever attempted partition recovery or used this program before and feel like I only have one shot at this and don't want to screw it up, if it is even possible.

Answer:Advice on fixing deleted recovery partition [Toshiba]

You can try restoring the HDD Recovery partition using PW Partition Recovery Wizard, but it may have lost its hotlink to run at boot or even from Win7 if you're still running the Factory Preinstall. Partition Wizard Partition Recovery Wizard - Video Help.

But most tech enthusiasts won't even run the bloated factory preinstall, preferring to get the vastly superior Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 following the steps in the link to get a perfect reinstall. If you do this you can back up your files (as you should have already) delete all partitions, even follow the recommended steps to Dual Boot Ubuntu - EasyBCD - NeoSmart Technologies Wiki.

However the safest method for Dual Booting is always on separate HD's, unplugging the other HD during install to boot only via the BIOS Boot Menu key.

While attempting to recover my laptop I appear to have done the opposite and delete the whole hard drive including the so called hidden recovery partition I used the Toshiba maintenance tool thinking the deletion was just a formatting process and windows would then recover in the process.

Answer:Satellite L850-19C: Recovery partition deleted. How can i create a new one?

Unfortunately you cannot do it anymore. You must install original recovery image using recovery media and this recovery partition will be created automatically.
Have you created recovery DVD or recovery USB before you have changed partitions structure?

I don't need this particular software, but i'm basically just looking for a program that can see all the files i've ever deleted from the trash bin and perhaps from a past partition as well.

I talked to a friend of mine who said he used to have some software which was able to show all the previous partitions you had and basically recover any file ever put on your computer. He said this program showed the partitioning history of the hard drive and the files that were on the computer during that partition.

Does anyone know of any such software? I've gone through 5+ programs and none of them can recover or even see the file name of what the file I used to have on there was called. I'm trying to recover a old avi file and a old html file but of all the programs I used, none of them have produced a filename I recognize and I remember what it was called.

P.S. This isn't neccessary at all (it would only be ideal), but it'd be nice if there was a program that was basically like window's integrated search where you can search for all or part of a filename but it will look for it through every deleted file ever on the computer.

There's no such thing as magic. If the stuff is recently deleted it's probably possible to recover it, but as time goes on the probability of it being overwritten approaches 1. Getting past that 1 means doing actual forensics with a dismantled or modified drive. In practice you can usually get back small files that have been deleted recently, beyond that there's not much hope.

Accidentally deleted Recovery Partition and lost discs.Can I recover by downloading windows 7 somewhere using the product key found on the back of my laptop? I am a total newbie at this. If anyone could help with this, please send a link or any info that would help. Thanks!

Answer:Accidentally deleted Recovery Partition and lost disks

Yes, you can download an ISO and use the key off of the back of your laptop to activate it. Here is a source for the ISO:

Download Windows 7 ISOs, Legally and for Free | PCsteps.com

This will be a clean install, though. It won't have any of the laptop manufacturer's bloatware and utility programs on it. If you want all of that still, you'll have to contact the manufacturer and get replacement restore disks.

The recovery partition has been deleted off my laptop by mistake and as it was being used by another family member, the system is a mess and would like to restore it back to the out-of-box state.

The standard methods (0/F8/F12 keys) recommended by Toshiba do not work as expected, and so the I found the last method is to order recovery media dvd's from Toshiba.

That's where the problem begins, as this laptop was bought in the US and brought over to the UK.

I have found the recovery media needed on the US site, however they do not ship to the UK, nor can I even order it as I would need a US billing address.

And so, I was hoping if anyone could advise me on what options I have.

Thank you in advance,

Other option?

Well, it looks like you will not be able to order the recovery disk because of the reason motioned in your post.
I think you could use a common Windows installation disk to install the system? Essential Toshiba drivers should be available on Toshiba EU driver page?

Or?.

You will find someone in US who would order the recovery disk and finally would send to UK?

How can I recover my windows . Please help. I need windows badly

Thanks!

Answer:Deleted Recovery partition. Unable to boot into windows now.

Hi Rajeshksv37,

Welcome to SevenForums.

If you are in U.S.A, fill in the Media Request form and submit online. https://support.dell.com/support/top.../backupcd_form

Other than U.S.A., please contact DELL Technical Support in your country and request backup disc for your system.

DELL will send you the OS Reinstall Disk free of cost.

With it in hand, you may do a clean install and then install Ubuntu, Kubuntu or whatever.

Whatever other course you want to try, you are free to do it, but try to get the free OS reinstall disk from Dell. It will keep you in good stead.

I bought my device with Windows 10 as pre-installed OS. Due to *careless* activity, I accidentally deleted the recovery partition of the hard disk. If some day I wanted to do a Windows 10 reset, will the reset process be failed?

I wanted to order for recovery disk from my vendor but they only provide media for Windows 7 pro and using this recovery option will downgrade my device and I cannot use windows 10 without having to buy another activation key (correct me if I am wrong here).

Answer:Reset Windows 10 even if Recovery Partition is (accidentally) deleted

Hi all!I mailed Dell with this question, but never got an answer. So now I'll try it here. Yesterday I had to restore a Windows 10 image on a Dell laptop. Unfortunately something went wrong and the Windows recovery tool had to format drives before restoring the image. Little did I know that it also deleted my data partition without asking. :-( Cost me whole night to gather the most important things from backups and syncs I luckily have. Anyway, it also removed the DIAGS-partition that is mentioned in this thread. Logical, since images are only made of the system and EFI partitions.Windows 10 runs fine again now, but there is a nag in the back of my head. Is DIAGS necessary, does Windows do anything with it? I guess not, because this laptop originally came with Windows 8.1. Last year I did a clean install of Windows 10. I actually didn't even expect that the DIAGS partition would survive it. Anyway: should I be worried about the deleted DIAGS-partition in relation to the stability of Windows 10 or are they in no way related?Follow-up question: the diags-tool from the bios is still working fine. What is actually he difference between both tools?The laptop is an Inspiron 7537, to be exact. :-)Greetings,Ronald.
